## Abstract Most previous studies aimed at estimating the number of human Tβcell leukemia virus typeβ1 (HTLVβ1) carriers in endemic areas have been based on seroprevalence rates in blood donors; however, this may result in underestimation because of the healthy donor effect. People who have health

According to the Vital Statistics Japan Series in 195G1981, the age-adjusted death rate for malignant lymphomas (ICDs, 20@-202) in Japan has increased in recent years. A geographical clustering of malignant lymphomas in the Kyushu districts was observed both in the period 1969-1971 and more recently
The surface phenotype and the functional activities of leukemic cells from seven patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) were studied using monoclonal antibodies OKT 3, 4 and 8, anti-Tac, and OKT 17. The latter defines the heterogeneity of the activated T4+ T cell subset. In all cases, ATL cells w
## Abstract Experimental vaccines targeting human T cell leukemia virus typeβI (HTLVβI) Tax have been demonstrated in a rat model of HTLVβIβinduced lymphomas. However, the scarcity of HTLVβIβexpression and the presence of defective HTLVβIβproviruses in adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cells have raised
